Slowly, I reluctantly wake up approximately fifteen minutes before I'm supposed to leave, slowly decide what I'm going to wear, then, slowly, I start to panic slightly as I realize I'm about to be late for class. So I grab my eyeliner and mascara, pour a cup of coffee (no time to find a thermos), slap some cream cheese on a bagel and I'm out the door.
Such is an average school morning. And I have to say (omitting that one time a bird hit my windshield) I have yet to be late to my first class. Although it is a little difficult to drive a stick shift while balancing a mug of coffee and eating a bagel. multitasking, I tell ya.
From there I go to class, then at the end of the day, I go close at my new job (!!!) Yes, ladies and gents, I got a new job. it's at this stellar cafe in the city and it's pretty much everything I dreamed of regarding becoming a barista.
Lately, my life has been consumed with work and school. I honestly wasn't prepared for the commuter life, and you can probably tell I haven't touched my Nikon in weeks. But then, in the middle of it all, I was in the parking garage, and this is what I saw:
And it just reminded me to keep my head up. Cause no matter how bad things seem at the time, they'll get better. I know this sounds super cliche, but I've realized that it's something I have to tell myself all the time. It reminded me that I don't have to put my life on hold - that I shouldn't stop living simply because I'm busy - even if it means waking up at 5 AM to see the sunrise, or just looking out my car window and admiring the birds and city lights. Or simply enjoying a quiet Sunday at home.
